President Joe Biden: The first year
CBSN
It is a cliché of politics that candidates campaign in poetry, but govern in prose. But at President Joe Biden's inauguration, Amanda Gorman's poetry anticipated the rough prose to come:
"We lift our gaze not to what stands between us,but what stands before us. …We've seen a force that would shatter our nation, rather than share it.Would destroy our country if it meant delaying democracy."
Workers were still repairing the windows in the Capitol behind Gorman from the violent attempt to overturn the election results. The broken glass is gone now, but not the threat, notes CBS News correspondent John Dickerson.
